sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit
Features & Benefits
- Simplified 2-step protocol speeds sample prep to under 3 hours and minimizes sample loss from transfer steps
- Increased library yields enable the construction of low input DNA sample from 250 pg
- Minimized bias improves coverage across difficult to sequence regions ensuring optimal results and reduced coverage gaps
- PCR-free workflows enabled from 100 ng input DNA
- Improved overall sequencing workflow economics
sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a disease.
Description
sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit is optimized for the rapid construction of DNA libraries from fragmented double-stranded DNA for sequencing on Illumina® NGS platforms. DNA polishing reactions are combined in a single step to convert fragmented DNA into 5'-phosphorylated and 3'-dA-tailed DNA fragments suitable for direct ligation of sequencing adapters without the need for an intervening cleanup saving valuable time and bead purification expense. The HiFi PCR Master Mix and Primer Mix allows for the optional, unbiased amplification of fragments with appropriate adapters ligated to both ends. The kit is compatible with input amounts from 250 pg to 1 μg DNA and multiple sample types.
Streamlined workflow
sparQ DNA Library Prep workflow
sparQ DNA Library Prep workflow
The streamlined workflow can be completed in under 3 hours with minimal hands-on time. A single tube is used for DNA polishing, ligation, and cleanup. A second tube is used for workflows requiring PCR amplification and a final tube receives the sequencing-ready library.
- Two step protocol generates sequencing ready library in 2.5 hours
- Fewer transfer steps minimizes sample loss

Coverage across challenging regions
Amplified libraries were prepared from 100 ng of microbial genomic DNA and subsequently sequenced on Illumina MiSeq. 2 million reads from each tested library were down-sampled and analyzed. Coverage uniformity for different library preparation kits were compared by plotting normalized coverage for both extreme AT-rich regions (8%-20% GC-content) and GC-rich regions (75%-88% GC-content).
- High fidelity master mix is formulated to increase yield even in GC and AT-rich challenging regions
- HiFi efficiency reduces the number of amplification cycles required to create sequence ready libraries
- Potential for PCR-derived artifacts is significantly reduced

Uniform coverage across wide range of GC-Content
Library amplification with sparQ HiFi PCR Master Mix contained in the sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit resulted in uniform coverage across the wide range of GC-content. Libraries were prepared by using sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit with 100 ng input DNA. Coverage depth against GC-content of libraries amplified by sparQ HiFi PCR Master Mix (orange) were compared to corresponding libraries without amplification (dark blue: PCR-free library). GC content distribution of targeted genomes is indicated by gray line.
- Low amplification bias enables better coverage uniformity
- Coverage of amplified workflow is matched to coverage of PCR-Free workflow

sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit generates high quality DNA libraries with minimal duplication rates. Libraries were prepared with 1 ng and 100 ng of microbial genomic DNA and subsequently sequenced on Illumina MiSeq. Each library was down-sampled to 2 million reads (150 bp paired-end reads) and aligned to a reference genome with only unique alignments reported.
